Speed of Sound Aim The aim of this practical is to measure the speed of sound using the resonance method. Variables Independent: Frequency Dependent: Length of Tube Constants: Temperature Diameter of Tube Theory The general equation used for finding the speed of a wave is v=fλ, as v∝f and v∝λ. The goal of this experiment will be to find v, the speed of sound. The only given is f, the frequency emitted by the tuning fork, however the wavelength, λ is not given. This value is derived from the…

Many people get aggravated with speed limits and say that they are useless and they need to go, but what they don't think about is the effect they do have in keeping America’s citizens safe. Speed limits are important for many reasons such as, the fact that it is the law to abide by them, and they keep citizens safe. One reason why speed limits are important is because it is the law. Due to this fact it would be wise to abide by these rules or we would likely have consequences to pay if we…

Golf swing speed can be calculated without the need for modern technology. If a golfer can determine exactly how far their golf ball traveled prior to landing, they can determine the speed of their swing. For every 2.3 yards traveled, a swing has to generate a speed of 1 mph. For anyone who is wondering how useful it is to have this knowledge, they should consider that the only way to increase distance is to increase the speed of the swing. Measuring progress requires some kind of metrics by…

true challenge. While there are many tried and true methods for meeting people, alternative methods that save time and energy are gaining acceptance too. One such method is speed dating. Contrary to what many people believe,…

4.1 Wind speed is considered as crucial parameters for installation of wind energy projects at any location. Data analysis reveals that monthly variations in the wind speed at fifteen different sites of the country helps to measure the other wind characteristics such as the modified Weibull scale parameter, modified Weibull shape parameters, wind power potential and density and capacity factors of the proposed sites. Weibull Wind speed x ̅determined wind speed characteristics of specific sites…

fluency development is speed reading in which learners focus on increasing their reading rate while still keeping up good comprehension. So, one of the characteristics of the good and fluent reader is skilled in reading fast and accurately. This skill is determined by how many words people can read in a minute (WPM). There are two major types of speed reading: skimming and scanning. However, most students, especially English language learners, still have low ability in speed reading. They find…

stated that I would use a combination of skimming and speed reading to read Frankenstein. You added that when I read I should put the story first, but not forget any thoughts or questions that I have had. You also said that I should do a reflection of the reading after I am done reading. I have done a pretty good job at keeping my word on how I/ you wanted me to read. The article, Literary Studies and Interpreting Literary Texts, discussed how to speed read and how I wanted to read. It…

Northwest Ohio can use to improve road safety is lowering the residential speed limits to 30 miles per hour or below. Ben Welle, a member of the World Resources Institute, states that lowering speed limits in cities can drastically change the risk of fatalities (Welle). In Ohio, the basic speed limit for residential areas is 35 miles per hour and it is about 70 miles per hour on the highways. Although there may be proof that lowering speed limits in residential areas can help to reduce the…

The ultimate goal for any athlete or coach is improvement in performance. Beginning with the ancient Greeks, coaches and athletes have sought methods and techniques for improving speed and strength. Over the last decades, the application of scientific principles to improve athletic performance has received greater attention and has brought about some remarkable results. Increased knowledge of muscle type, muscle biochemistry, neuromuscular response, and the effects of various form of training…
